Road Signs

Road signage can be in all different shapes and sizes . For example The Circular Speed limit signs of England and the Square Speed limit signs of america. But no matter what the signs look like they always seem to be really successful, I believe this is because the consequences that can be inforced and the problems it can cause.

Temporary signs such as these are for things such as accidents, roadworks, and Incidents that require bypassed traffic conditions. The colours in the signs are very different to other signs with it being yellow and black or plain red and white, this makes it so the driver is more alert about what is ahead.

Animal warning signs are there to prevent people from not being cautious and have the possibility of accentually hitting a kangaroo or some animal like that. once again the colours in this are yellow and black but not to draw attention, it's more about the landscape and how to make it easy to see.  

Information signs are usually around motorways telling you where and how many miles before a certain destination,
they are usually a large blue and white   board that is very noticeable to see.

Direction information is usually placed around roundabouts to show you what direction you should go, the colours are usually just blue and white, so pretty plain but still noticeable.

Warning signs are there to tell people that certain things are around, for example, the sign on the left is showing that is a "Children Crossing Zone". these are usually portrayed as a triangle  with a red outline and inside that is a white background with a black image. this is also seen as a warning.
